I would settle for the same level of financial disclosure and divestment that every other President in our history has undergone to hold that position.

Same level, nitwit.  That means tax returns.  To start with.

And the lack of divestment in this case obviously the more concerning issue.

America sucks when it comes to upward mobility, when it comes to enabling folks to move up in economic/social class. We are among the worst of the so-called developed nations at this.
That  comment is absurd.
No matter how you measure wealth the US has 41% of the world’ s millionaires,  no other country has more 8 per cent. Our poverty rate shrank by 20 per cent in the last three years while our number of millionaires grew by 6 per cent. If the middle class is shrinking it because people are moving UP.  No matter what per centile of income you look at its people are richer than their parents

Unmitigated bullshit.

Haley says Trump is leaving our allies in Syria to die:


Of course there will be deaths

Its a shame we cant lobby to see the transcripts of the call with Erdogan - then maybe we'd know more of what was discussed

C'mon, Dems - get on it.  Everything should be public.  Best (and safest) way to run a nation, eh?

Pay site


But here’s the gist:

“I urge the President to exercise American leadership to keep together our multinational coalition to defeat ISIS and prevent significant conflict between our NATO ally Turkey and our local Syrian counterterrorism partners,” McConnell said Monday in a statement. “Major new conflict between Turkey and our partners in Syria would seriously risk damaging Turkey’s ties to the United States and causing greater isolation for Turkey on the world stage.”

Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell

You don’t see what’s up?

You’re no patriot.

As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...

There used to be a time when we had to pay money to hear a comedian's monologue.

I just stared at the tweet when I saw it.

I don't think Trump understands that when most of us use the expression "in my unmatched wisdom," it is used facetiously.

We will bookmark this.  As new revelations come out re: trump's lawlessness, Mitch McConnell was aware of them all.  got it.


Impeach now - find stuff later

Just what the founders had it mind

heh

Holding hearings now, based on the stuff already seen.

I know, you hate the truth - Trump committed crimes, including publicly.

Trump admitted to committing crimes. He just denies that those are crimes.

I am sure you objected just as strenuously to how all the Clinton hearings were executed - Bill's and Hill's.

Facts really bother you, don't they?

"No matter what per centile of income you look at its people are richer than their parents"

No.

[kiidcarter8]

Why do you care how much Trump paid in taxes?  I am sure he was watched closely.

Like Amazon - taking advantage of tax law shouldn't be a negative stain

I like our President to be financially wise.  Good for the game.

I have never commented negatively on the fact there may be hearings.  Is what it is - and won't affect how Trump does his job.

Though after all the other hearings your Dem starlings did shine in - you may want LESS air time for them.

LOL.  Upward mobility sucks in the US because so many people are becoming millionaires....

wait...

And fact check, poverty rate dropped 20% over the last five years and dropped at its fastest rate between 2014 and 2015.  But this was not the result of a long-term income equating trend, but of the country climbing out of recession.

Thanks for confirming.
The poverty rate continues to drop.  Wages are up. Unemployment at record lows for all demographics, millionaires are growing. But the USA lacks mobility? ROFL!

[REDSTATEWARD]

Speaking of mobility. 

Democratic donors on Wall Street and in big business are preparing to sit out the presidential campaign fundraising cycle — or even back President Donald Trump — if Sen. Elizabeth Warren wins the party's nomination. -CNBC

Those dems understand a basic economic truism. Mobility is harmed when the government decides how to redistributes money.

We care about it because again he has already shown he has broken tax laws, Kid.
